Assassin's Creed Shadows: Complete Ibuki Ambush Interrupted

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're looking to help out Ibuki in Assassin's Creed Shadows? This side quest, 'Ambush Interrupted,' kicks off in the Iga region, specifically in Kashiwara Village. To find it, head south of the Hijiyama area on your map. When you get there, you'll see Ibuki chatting with some villagers. They'll mistake you for someone looking to finish a job, so you'll want to tell them, 'I have changed,' to smooth things over. Turns out, some dude named Nakatomi is running things with an iron fist. As you're talking with Ibuki, Nakatomi's goons will show up, and bam! Battle time.

Walkthrough

1
You'll be facing a good number of Nakatomi's men, and thankfully, they all have markers above their heads. The tricky part is that this fight happens in a pretty open area, so you might get some random guards or even a wandering ronin joining the fray. It's super easy to get overwhelmed here.
2
To make things more manageable, try to focus on one enemy at a time until they're down.
3
Keep an eye out for the ranged enemies – they're the ones you'll want to take out first. They're annoying because their shots can be hard to track when everything else is kicking off.
4
Once you've thinned out the crowd a bit, the fight will get much simpler. You might have one or two stragglers left to hunt down, especially if they decided to go after someone else.
5
After you've dealt with all the enemies, find Ibuki and chat with them to wrap up the quest.

Tips

Since the battle is in an open field, be aware of your surroundings and any potential reinforcements or wandering enemies.
Prioritizing ranged attackers will help reduce incoming damage and make it easier to manage the melee combatants.
Don't be afraid to use the environment for cover if you get overwhelmed.
